Fitch Ratings Revises Outlook on Ryanair to Positive From Stable

BY MT Newswires | CORPORATE | 08/29/25 09:56 AM EDT

09:56 AM EDT, 08/29/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Fitch Ratings said Friday that it has revised its outlook on Ryanair Holdings (RYAOF) to positive from stable and affirmed the airline's long-term issuer default rating at 'BBB+'.

The revision shows Fitch's expectation that Ryanair (RYAOF) will maintain a strong financial profile, supported by Ryanair's (RYAOF) operating performance and positive free cash flow generation despite increased capex, the credit agency said.

Fitch also noted Ryanair's (RYAOF) competitive cost structure, with only modest unit cost rise, in a macro environment that has been challenging for many of the airline's peers, the company said.

"We would consider an upgrade if earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and rent leverage fell well below 1x in the medium term with a sustained net cash position," Fitch said.

Price: 63.09, Change: -0.19, Percent Change: -0.30

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
